“The 1st district is the south western end of the state.”

Not all of it.
I was thinking of those coastal towns such as Portland, Cape Elizabeth, Kennebunk, Freeport, etc.
Looking at a map of the district, I’d say we are both right.
Part of that district is along the more populated southeast coast, but a chunk of the district heads well into the southwestern portion of the state as well.
I’ve always considered east as east of Penobscot Bay. I don’t t care one way or the other. The coast is filled with transplants that brought Mass. with them.
